    WOW! That would be somber news for Bex since she desperately wants to be human. Burning doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun. Damon being protected against dying permanently…hmmm an interesting theory. I wonder if it’s due to his connection to Elena thru the sire bond or because he killed those 12 people unknowingly allowing the dark magic to walk on this plane and help in raising Silas? Didn’t they say all who died in his name would be rise again? Would the sire bond be affected even if her switch is off? OMG could you imagine the reverse happening between Damon and Elena where Damon is human and has to get Elena to turn her humanity back on? What they’re filming with Nina could be Katherine.

  • ihatepeople

    Damon’s death wouldn’t be permanent. Jeremy’s possibly. Elena couldn’t turn Damon back or he’d be sired to her. Rather awkward to have to ask the woman you spent 150 years pining over for a favor so you can spend eternity with the woman who actually loves you who also happens to be the doppelganger of the first woman. LOL.

  • ihatepeople

    Well Elena actually can’t because of the sire bond thing.

  • http://twitter.com/NoirCat2528 Robin Rogers

    Right, but I wonder what her opinion of it will be. Would she even want him to change back or would she think he’s making a mistake?

    Stefan will lecture him about how he shouldn’t throw away his humanity while trying to take advantage of the situation to get back with Elena, which Caroline will fully support. Tyler may not even be able to turn anyone since he’s a hybrid and Damon wouldn’t want to take the risk. Abby hates him. Klaus hates him. Elijah’s gone. Rebekah hates him…

    Yep, that would make Katherine his only hope.

  • ihatepeople

    For me the amnesia thing is too much like a soap opera and leaves too much room for her to regress. I wouldn’t be surprised if he died for her I mean he died trying to save Katherine and she didn’t really love him. Unfortunately that’s a tough group she hangs with so who knows if that would even win him any brownie points with them. LOL. I know what you mean I’ve expected him to die for her at some point too but I assumed it would be in the end. With the whole possible resurrection thing though it’s more likely to occur now. Didn’t Bonnie say in season 1 she kept seeing the numbers 8, 14 and 22? Well 4×14 would be one of those significant numbers.

    The sire bond is based on an emotional connection she has with him. For her I don’t think that would stop even after he dies. In fact it would probably be more intense because she misses him or being in limbo could be why she’s able to feel him still. IDK. I was just throwing it out there as a romantic thing. As for the journal maybe she’s simply writing in it not looking for something or recalling her history with him. I agree the poor guy can never catch a break. He didn’t even get to really be happy with her for more than half a day before it turned to crap.

  • dman_24

    The reason I thought you were a teenager was because of the way you wrote. I didn’t think most adults would write like that. I mean…..what do you call that style you write in? lol

    BTW, I’m 95, and I loved the Golden Girls. It was one of my favorite shows.

  • ihatepeople

    That is a good question. She’d probably think he’s making a mistake. Oh the irony of her being the vampire now and him being the human. They just can’t catch a break. I’m with you on the Stefan & Caroline perspective. That’s what I envision too and I find annoying and it hasn’t even happened. Hahaha. I wondered the same thing about Tyler’s ability to turn someone. The Originals definitely wouldn’t do it because Damon would be less of a problem to them as a human.

  • Georgia_Peach

     The episode is taking Damon to NY for reasons unknown, but he is there with either Elena or Katherine.

  • http://www.facebook.com/MirandaFarrellMilne?ref=tn_tnmn †_ṂῘⱤ₳∏ƉΔ_†

    It’s driving me nuts but I remember having read in vampire folklore, in one of the hundred books i have read about there being a certain significance in the hanged man symbol, and ties between vampirism and biblical characters. Something about the hangman representing a fallen disciple of christ, life for a life…bla bla bla… xD resulting in resurrection of said disciple as a vampire…. blood of christ, blood drinking rituals….bla bla bla… xDDD 

    Anyhow… my point is that it definitely points towards Damon giving up his life for her to become vampire. THings could go wrong of course, and Damon could end up being the resurrected one, but I don’t think that will be the case. In which case, she wouldn’t feel the sire, as she would be human again. Or she never changed… but what did Damon give his life up for? I can’t believe he would end up dying and it would all be for nothing… they have to get something out of this. 

    We know they all worry for her mental state after that episode, so something clearly is happening to her, and I don’t think it is just about being distraught about losing Damon. 

    Like I said somewhere else, if all she has to go on is that journal and it is memory loss… god help all of us Delenas! xD I would expect at least Bonnie to say something nice about him… I’m actually feeling optimistic for a change… I don’t know what it is, but as bad as it looks for him… I just have a feeling this will do his image a whole lot of good. Maybe even for some of the viewers… 

    But I’ll let you know, no doubt my optimism will be short lived :(

  • Georgia_Peach

     I don’t know about Damon being protected against dying permanently, but I could see the scenario of him turning human on the island.   The still looks like Vaughn has roped Damon and is pulling him into the sun.  Bex is lying there burned.  That is why I think there is a problem with their day walking rings.  It is all guess work anyway based on the stills and the synopsis.   

    That would be funny if Damon is human and Elena is a vampire and Damon would be trying to get Elena to feel again.  Reversed roles!
    or:
    1. We know Elena is already sired to Damon
    2. Katherine turns Damon back into a Vampire
    3. Damon sires himself to Katherine.

    What a complete mess that would be!
    (LOL)

  • From Beginning To End

     I think I read somewhere New York was a flashback to the 70′s, but it wasn’t a definite thing at the time so maybe they have changed that aspect of it.

  • http://twitter.com/NoirCat2528 Robin Rogers

    You are not 95! haha Come on, now.

  • ihatepeople

    I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they’re daylight rings aren’t working given the magic on the island. Yeah I thought about Damon being sired to Katherine too if she turns him. The witch said “feelings” not necessarily love that sires someone to a vampire. He has that love/hate thing going on with Katherine which could be a problem in the siring department. Ah a new triangle is born. LOL. I can just picture Katherine messing with him and Elena if that happened.

  • ihatepeople

    About the disciple thing when they kept mentioning the 12 sacrifices each time all I could think about was the significance of the 12 relating to either the disciples or apostles somehow.
    “I can’t believe he would end up dying and it would all be for nothing” Haha you made a funny. Of course they could have him die for nothing. He died trying to save Katherine which ended up being for nothing because she already had her own plan AND she didn’t end up loving him anyway. It was all for nothing. God only knows what’s in those diaries of hers about Damon. That’s funny you’re optimistic about it while I’m feeling pessimistic about it. :) I guess his death would be why the sire bond is just a “tiny obstacle” comparatively.

  • http://www.facebook.com/MirandaFarrellMilne?ref=tn_tnmn †_ṂῘⱤ₳∏ƉΔ_†

    okaaaay… when you say it like that….haha I guess you are right…. It’s just terrible that they would do that to him :( I guess I can’t find reason in them having him as their scape goat all the time… So I hope at least, for once, there will be significant reason for him getting himself momentarily killed :/ 

    Yes the 12 disciples, and the 12 sacrifices… I wonder even if there are any biblical stories out there involving the disciples that have any relation to a story similar to the one Prof Creepy tells us about Silas and Quetsia. I now wish I had payed more attention in catholic school… >..< anyways…  It looks like he doesn't stay dead for long… All the reviving or vamp-reviving happens in 4×16.

  • Georgia_Peach

    What they are filming in downtown Atlanta for their NY scenes doesn’t look like anything from the 70′s, but while it has taken two days to film ..  this is just a part of the episode.  There are other things going on in the episode with other cast members so it is possible there is a 70′s flashback so I wouldn’t dismiss that thought.  They have been shooting day and night scenes with Ian and Nina in downtown Atlanta over the past two days. Whatever is going on, it looks like Damon is in NY with either Elena or Katherine…. and Nina, as either Elena or Katherine,  was standing next to Damon’s car today … in downtown Atlanta.  I’m pretty sure they will be finished with this sequence of filming today and then take it back to the studio stages, or another location.

  • Lola Rose17

    ep 17 has the title ‘because of the night’the song has alot of meaning ,i think abut damon and elena love.people are saying there is a fighting scene and a DE scene.i think the big surprice is to do with elena , i think she might be related to silas and his lady

  • ihatepeople

    Yeah it is terrible but if you think about it not that unexpected. He’s struggled all along in the series.

    Don’t look at me for the biblical reference. I did my best day dreaming in catechism. I’m wondering if he doesn’t actually die but is transformed into a human by the “cure.” We don’t know for sure if someone actually has to die to turn back. Maybe Vaughn forces it on him as punishment.

  • ihatepeople

    Ok random thought here. Say Damon does turn human and he and Elena get all hot and heavy, isn’t she going to want to bite him being so physically close and feeling his heartbeat? She IS a new vampire so what would her control be like in that situation?

  • http://www.facebook.com/MirandaFarrellMilne?ref=tn_tnmn †_ṂῘⱤ₳∏ƉΔ_†

    @ihatepeople:disqus It would be funny to see the shoe on the other foot wouldn’t it? A human Damon getting bitten by a hungry horny vampire Elena haha what are the chances… 

    I’m sure he would jump at the offer! It would be very amusing to watch. Infact human Damon I think would be hilarious… YOu can just imagine him complaining about absolutely everything like a grouchy old man.

    HAHAHA

  • San

    I came to this site at the end of November (I think) just before the hiatus.  I wanted to see what people were writing about before I initiated contact.  I liked what I read and still do.  Some comments was so hilarious (thinking of some right now) while others analyzed to the point that I would think they should be writers on the show. 

    I feel that what has generated all of this backlash (IMO) was the “shipping departments” and don’t get me wrong because we all have our favorite characters/couples/people/person that we grow to admire and love whether it’s a TV series/political/novel etc.  Represent your “hero” or whatever, but just don’t attack someone else because their not feeling the same way you feel. 
    It’s not blasphemous that people don’t convert to your favorite character is all I’m saying..don’t hate, just appreciate and move on. (old saying).  There will always be some snags that must be reported, its a given and I understand. But sometimes I just like to comment on a characters poise or features and that too has been taken away :(   

    I like your honesty and your very articulate too. I can tell that you take the time to think before you post as I have seen with other posters here: it’s why I appreciate this site.  Laughter is a must because things can get really serious here..see you soon and looking forward to more of your posts dman_24 :)

  • dman_24

    Haha! I was wondering if someone would’ve notice that. No, I’m much, much, much, much, much……..OLDER than that. lol

  • http://twitter.com/raego826 raego_826

    Damon dead don’t break the bond :

    Klaus :even in death my hybrids have there orders.

    So i think ihatepeople is right.

  • http://twitter.com/NoirCat2528 Robin Rogers

    I would actually love this. I mean, it did happen in the books, but it was extremely short-lived.

    Now, that would be a terrible waste because there’s so much story to explore surrounding Damon being stuck human for however long. First, he’d hate being at everyone’s mercy, even Elena’s (lol), not to mention not being able to protect her. Second, even if him turning human broke the sire bond (I know a lot of people think it won’t, but I think it would because it’s a supernatural bond based on Damon’s vamp blood and you can’t be sired to someone who is no longer supernatural imo) they’d have to deal with the new challenge of Damon being miserable and not believing that Elena can love or respect him as a puny human who needs protection himself all the time. Third, it’d be so interesting to see how it changed how everyone else treats him.

    Carina even said Damon would be suffering a lot soon. Yes, I know that sounds like the most obvious non-spoiler ever when discussing TVD, but I can’t deny that Damon being human really REALLY would make him suffer.

    In short, bring it on.

  • http://www.facebook.com/MirandaFarrellMilne?ref=tn_tnmn †_ṂῘⱤ₳∏ƉΔ_†

    So Jeremy maybe doesn’t make it back to MF, because he will be turning into Silas? That is why he isn0t in the pictures? Because Shane needs his body to act as some kind of Vessel for Silas????

  • http://www.facebook.com/MirandaFarrellMilne?ref=tn_tnmn †_ṂῘⱤ₳∏ƉΔ_†

    I agree, just like it would break it if ELena were to be human, I think it will be broken is he becomes a human too. 

    Wow, it would be excellent to watch! Aggg can’t wait!

  • http://twitter.com/NoirCat2528 Robin Rogers

    After last night, I’m more convinced than ever that Damon is going to get the cure. He’s the only one who doesn’t want it! haha

    Well, him and Klaus.

  • http://www.facebook.com/MirandaFarrellMilne?ref=tn_tnmn †_ṂῘⱤ₳∏ƉΔ_†

    If he does, it doesn’t look like it lasts very long at all… :/ 

    SPOILER:

    Just seen a terribly spoiler pic that shows him filming 4×17 and he is most definitely a vamp again. Either that or it is a flashback, but I don’t think so. He is all covered in blood, in his mouth too… 

  • http://twitter.com/NoirCat2528 Robin Rogers

    Is it new or just one of the ones from before? I don’t see why Damon being covered in blood means he’s a vamp. ???

  • http://www.facebook.com/MirandaFarrellMilne?ref=tn_tnmn †_ṂῘⱤ₳∏ƉΔ_†

    No, its a new one. If you want I can put the link up? 

  • http://twitter.com/NoirCat2528 Robin Rogers

    Please, yes. =)

    As you can see it looks like he has been having a snack… either that of he was kicked in the teeth… :/

  • http://twitter.com/NoirCat2528 Robin Rogers

    Could go either way, really. I mean, being a human wouldn’t stop Damon from getting into fights with his smart mouth. haha It would just make him more vulnerable when he does.

  • darkdimension

    I don’t know if you will get this,
    I hope so. This is where we are now:
